THE MODERN

Luxurious, and as the moniker suggests, very modern, The Modern hotel is one of Hawaii’s most fashionable addresses. It has two sensational pools: The Sunset Pool, an adults-only spot made for quieter reclining, with real sand beneath the sun beds; and The Sunrise, open to all ages, with a teak wood deck and tea lights dotted around the vicinity. Next door, a picturesque bar is shrouded under a plume of bougainvillea and hanging lanterns. The hotel also has a state-of-the-art spa, fitness center, and organic, fine dining options coupled with highly personalized service.
